Since 2004, the Rev. Kathy LaLonde of St. Paul's, Kittanning, has led a three-week mission trip to The Blessed Mustard Seed Babies' Home in Hoima, Uganda, a residence for orphans from infancy through college.

Her fellow missioners come from dioceses where she has worked. Accompanying her for the second year in a row is Pat Hurd from St. Paul's, Mt. Lebanon.

Kathy+, and her husband, Wally, are supplying regular pictoral reports (as regular as internet connections in Hoima will allow) that we will feature here as they are received:
